Scrum Artifacts

Scrum artifacts are designed to increase transparency of information related to the delivery of the project, and provide opportunities for inspection and adaptation. They are management products useful for the creation of the specialist product of the project.

There are three artifacts in Scrum:

Product Backlog: An ordered list of everything that might be needed in the final product

Sprint Backlog: Selected items from the Product Backlog to be delivered through a Sprint, along with the tasks for delivering the items and realizing the Sprint Goal

Increment: The set of all the Product Backlog items completed so far in the project (up to the end of a certain Sprint)

And these are the concepts related to the artifacts:

Definition of Done: The shared understanding of what it means for a piece of work to be considered complete
